Hair Store Shhhhwag~

Even though school didn’t ware me out as it usually does, I was still extremely happy that it was Friday yesterday (wrote this post on Saturday).

My mom had gotten sick a week after I got better so she had to go to the doctors and she asked me to tag along. After we left the hospital (our doctor’s ‘office’ is in the hospital), my mom wanted some wonton soup so we headed straight for the Chinese restaurant which is in a plaza that also has a hair supply store in it (; I really love hair supply stores. It’s just full of stuff I enjoy looking at and stuff I enjoy buying!

This stuff is like magic in a bottle. The only downside of buying this was it was $15.99 at the hair supply store and was about $8 if purchased at Walgreens or Wal-Mart wtff I feel like I was jipped off, yes!

I purchased this same product about 3 years ago and remembered how much I loved it so I bought it again

My sister moved out recently and took the newest flat iron we have and she lives about 4 hours away now so we had to buy a new one –.-  I don’t really care anymore that she took it and I giggle as I think about it because it wasn’t as great so I’m grateful she took it. The flat iron didn’t have control settings and only a on and off button which was frustrating because the heat setting it was I personally think was too hot for my hair (I have thin hair and most of it is chemically straightened so no need for that much heat on my hair) and I think it was damaging my hair because the plates seemed to be FAKE ceramic. I blamed my sister for it having a different coloring in a part of the plate because she does use gel and other products and thinks it’s okay to flat iron her hair with that stuff in her hair, but no. It also came with a mini flat iron which I used a lot because the back of my hair is short and I could basically see the black ‘ceramic’ falling off in flakes wtfff?

I never used a flat iron that had a swivel cord and oh my goodness, it is the best thing EVER! ahh refreshing feeling while straightening my hair yes! My blow dryer has swivel cord too but I never really blow dry my hair haha.

It is 1” which is a good size but now I’m starting to wish I got a smaller size. My hair is very easy to straighten as I said before because most of it is chemically straightened but my roots are very curly. I’m black and I’m grateful that I can straighten my natural hair (even on low heat) and get it straight so I would like to take advantage of that privilege but can’t really because it’s only my roots that curl like crazy and I can’t seem to reach them properly on my own and maybe it’s because of the size of the flat iron ): BOOOOO. Going to find a friend to straighten my hair for me for now on.

The plates are incredibly nice. The red parts supposedly help your hair not get damaged and actually helps your hair get healthy. I highly doubt that but I don’t care because these are still some pretty good plates! After straightening, my hair gets like super straight (as if it changes the texture of my hair x10) and my hair just looks shiny. You know what? I always tried to curl my hair with my flat irons in the past wasn’t really possible because the iron wouldn’t really move if you get what I’m saying but I was able to curl my hair easily with this one. I never tried to look for a flat iron that says it's high quality because I believe all flat irons would get the job done but nOOOOooO this is incredibly amazing. The only downside to this flat iron is that I think it gets easily dirty on the sides of the plates. When I first used it, I saw little white stuff on the sides but didn’t bother to try to remove it until I decided to take a picture of it and it didn’t really come off in one swipe as you can see –.-
